A new tease for Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War #1, by Christos Gage, Donald Mustard and Segio Dávila, teases a Wovlerine vs. Doctor Slone fight.
A new variant cover for the upcoming Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War crossover, by Christos Gage, Donald Mustard and Sergio Dávilla, teases a showdown between Wolverine and Doctor Slone.
Revealed in a press release from Marvel, the variant cover, which you can see below, comes from artist John Cassady, who’s known for his works on such titles as Astonishing X-Men and Captain America. The art shows both Fortnite‘s Doctor Slone and Wolverine about to fly into one of his berserker rages.
According to the ploy synopsis for Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War, the series will explore an island whose inhabitants are locked in a never-ending war. However, a crystallized shard of an artifact called the Zero Point — which is in the Marvel Universe — has the potential to change the island’s fate. Spider-Man, Wolverine and Shuri will thus team up with various Fortnite characters to hunt down this fragment, known as the Zero Shard. They’ll be opposed by the Imagined Order of which Doctor Slone is a part. Recently, a trailer for Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War teased the two universes colliding. The event is said to have an impact on both Marvel and Fortnite’s universes.
Developed and published by Epic Games, Fortnite is a free-to-play game that achieved notoriety for its battle royale mode, in which 100 players compete to be the last one standing. Since launching in 2017, Fortnite has become one of the most popular intellectual properties around, earning a massive number of viewers on such streaming platforms as Twitch.
Fortnite has featured a number of major crossovers across the years, particularly with Marvel and DC. Following the release of Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, Fortnite temporarily added an Infinity Gauntlet to its map that allowed players to become Thanos. 2020 saw a comic book crossover with Marvel titled Fortnite X Marvel – Nexus War: Thor, by Donny Cates and Greg Land. More recently, in 2021, Epic Games partnered to make a comic based on the game, Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. That title was also written by Gage and Mustard.
Releasing June 8 from Marvel Comics, Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War #1 will also feature a main cover from Leinil Francis Yu, who illustrated the Secret Invasion crossover. Fortnite x Marvel: Zero War will run for five issues, with the second hitting shelves in July.
